to add or not to add 1 MH
Currently I have 4x 54w t-5's as my lighting choice. Tank is getting close to a year old! I basicly have some softies, LPS and some anem's. To list a few:
Ricordias Few diffrent kinds of mushrooms Button polups Candy cane Trumpet leathers Frog spawns Hammerheads Bubble coral GSP Anem's: Condy BTA ( just showed up one day! ) 3 rose anem's ( just split last week! ) Everything seems to be doing very well and growing/spliting. I have been happy with the t-5's so far, little heat and good light output. But now I am wanting to add a couple of sps and I know I will need better light. I am wanting to get a Monte and maybe an acropora and or a birdnest. Will 1x 175w MH be enough with my t-5's? I was also thinking of overdriving my t-5's, would that be needed as well? Thanks in advance everyone! ~iBsmelly |

One metal halide 175 watt should work well provided you keep the SPS under it. I would suggest the XM 10K which is a good bulb with good PAR ratings. Or, you could use the Iwasaki 14K which is more white than blue and would work well also.
